(Sky’s POV)“Daddy!”Three girls chimed in, already dressed in their pajamas; they ran to me as they saw me enter the family room. After Angela went to Dad’s bedroom to read him his favorite book, I had to go to the study room for an urgent meeting online.Elenita, although she asked Nina, who used to be Olivia’s nanny before, to bathe the kids, she was still there to check on them. She was in her usual seat, answering crossword puzzles while waiting for Olivia. She glanced at us, then returned to her own world of puzzles. It was much better than seeing her read horoscopes again.“Ready to do your homework?” I asked, flickering my eyes on Olivia, sitting on the floor as she does her homework in Math, and Finn relaxing on the couch. “Is the world going to end?” I smirked at Finn, finding him here in the Family room, not doing anything like watching the TV or playing video games. I had to get their worksheets from the bedroom and bring them to the kids.I sat on the egg chair while the

(Anj’s POV)“I’m not accepting it. It’s final.”I walked around the fountain, glancing at my kids eating breakfast with their father and uncle, while I nervously paced with Nitro following me, thinking we were playing Trip to Jerusalem.“I understand,” Anya said, then she hissed. “It’s negative,” she yelled, causing me to move farther from my phone.“You don’t have to yell,” I laughed at her.“He’s annoying me, wanting to see the kit,” she said. “Wait, let’s do a video call. I want to see the cute monkeys.” She ended the call, and a few seconds later, she did a video call. “Woah! You’re in paradise, Angela!” She exclaimed, seeing the roses behind me.“More like a gateway to hell, Anya,” I smirked and turned my camera to my children. I had to zoom the camera so she would see them.“Ooohhh,” she moaned. “Having breakfast with the yummy Daddy and handsome Uncle Finn,” she laughed. “Where’s the grandpa?”“In his bedroom,” I answered.“Return the camera to you, Anj. The annoying man here w

(Anj’s POV)“How did -” Sky stopped. “What?” His eyes widened. “No!”It was like he hit the stop button that I had stopped crying. What did he just say? “God, no, Angela! Good heavens, we’re not related.” He hissed as if I had said something terrible. “What made you think you’re my sister?”“Because…” I cried again, clutching his dress suit, not minding I was wrinkling it already. Now that I knew he wasn’t my brother made me want to bury my face in his chest.He moved closer to me and wrapped his arms around me, heaving a sigh many times. “I should have talked to you about it, but I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to answer all your questions.”“Finn and I…” My voice trailed off, not knowing how to say it. “Freya.”He moved slightly away from me and cupped my face, his fingers wiping my tears. “This is Dad’s fault.” He shook his head. “It’s a long story, but for the sake of our peace of mind here, Freya died in an accident when they were fourteen,” he said sadly. “Dad… he just couldn

(Anj’s POV)“Your cousin never fails to amaze me, Anj,” Dylan shook his head as we watched her taking pictures with my kids in the garden.When Anya and Dylan arrived, she asked me immediately if she could have pictures in the garden. Not wanting to disappoint her, I gave in to her request, and now my kids looked like little tour guides with their cute guard puppy, Nitro, following her around in the garden.I turned my head to Nina when she came with snacks and coffee for Dylan.“Angela, if you need anything else, I’ll be in the kitchen,” she smiled, but I caught her flickering her eyes at my handsome guest.“Sure. Thanks for the snacks, Nina,” I said, but I could not help myself from checking the pastries for the girls, making sure no peanuts in them.“No peanuts,” Nina grinned. “Elenita served the same pastry to the young Mr. Mars.”“Thank you,” I said thoughtfully, remembering that Elenita always prepares the meals, and in this house, she was the queen in the kitchen.When Nina lef

(Anj’s POV)After dinner, Sky returned to work, attending an hour meeting with a business partner. Anya joined me in reading for Steve and entertaining him with her stories about the girls. I smiled, remembering how his eyes sparkled when she showed him their pictures at school. Dylan got preoccupied when Finn started talking to him about dogs, and when he showed him the breeds he has, he had just forgotten he wanted to leave the house.As I closed the door behind us, it was also the same time Sky went out of the study room.“Are the girls sleeping already?” he asked as he walked with us, returning to the family room. “Where’s Dylan?” As if he had spoken the magic word, Finn and Dylan entered the door with a puppy in his arms.“Dylan, what’s that?” She hissed as her eyes widened at the little animal.“I’m sure it’s not a cat, Anya,” Sky chuckled, looking at Finn.He grinned. “Sorry, but this guy here just fell in love with her. What can I do?”Anya sneered at him, but Sky patted his
